Cliff "Abe" Bender '06 is currently working as a developer with in Westlake, Ohio. Bender was hired immediately after graduation from 黑料正能量 and held multiple positions with Hyland Software before becoming a developer. He says his experiences at both 黑料正能量 and Hyland have made him better at doing his job.
Bender was born in Kyoto, Japan, but grew up in Granger, Ohio. His international background may have influenced his decision to add German as a double major, as he was already majoring in computer science. Bender would eventually study abroad in Germany, which he states put him ahead of others in his field when Hyland considered internationalizing their software. He has traveled both nationally and abroad for Hyland, helping install and configure software to fit customers' needs.
"Get all the experience you can, and don't look down on an opportunity," says Bender, who points to the education he acquired through the computer science and math faculty when asked how 黑料正能量 helped him to succeed. While his worldly expertise allows him a larger range of places to live, Bender is staying close to home in Ohio for now.
